Getting Ready for Another Waste Audit

Jackman's #1 eco goal is simple... MAKE LESS GARBAGE!   Yep, we’re learning to be more mindful about the garbage we create. It takes a little effort. But it's worth it. 

And soon, we will put our garbage goal to the test.  We are getting ready for another waste audit.  We will save a whole day's worth of Jackman's garbage. Then the eco team will conduct a thorough investigation to see exactly what’s in it. It's a messy job, but someone's got to do it.  We will sort it, count it, measure it, and discuss it. Then we use this data to make plans for further waste reduction. Look at our data from the last few years...

 

2013 - 36 kg     

2014 - 32 kg 

2015 - 22 kg

2016 - 24 kg

2017 - 20 kg

2018 - 11 kg

As you can see, we are making less garbage overall.  What will 2019 bring?  Are we making less garbage at Jackman?  We hope so.  And soon we'll know the answer.
